		<description><![CDATA[Besides getting, well, the whole country to run today, President Barack Obama is now taking a geek-tastic new ride down Pennsylvania Avenue to his new home, which should more than satisfy his clearly gadget-loving persona.

Say hello to the spanking new Presidential limo, which the Secret Service is calling the "Beast."

The last time General Motors improved on the car was at outgoing President George W. Bush's 2005 inauguration, which means the struggling automaker is faster at upgrading than Microsoft is with Windows!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/files/2009/01/limo.jpg"><img src="http://kara.allthingsd.com/files/2009/01/limo-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="limo" width="300" height="225" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8749" /></a></p>
<p>Besides getting, <em>well</em>, the whole country to run today, President Barack Obama is now taking a geek-tastic new ride down Pennsylvania Avenue to his new home, which should more than satisfy his clearly gadget-loving persona.</p>
<p>Obama, who has an ongoing <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20090105/goodbye-blackberry-and-hello-ifart-app/">obsessive relationship with his BlackBerry, much as the rest of us do</a>, just got a spanking new presidential limo (pictured above), which the Secret Service is calling the &#8220;Beast.&#8221;</p>
<p>The last time General Motors (GM) improved on the car was at outgoing President George W. Bush&#8217;s 2005 inauguration, which means the struggling automaker is faster at upgrading than Microsoft (MSFT) is with Windows!</p>
<p>But, let us just say, it&#8217;s not very Prius-like, despite Obama&#8217;s speech today about focusing on the environment.</p>
<p>Indeed, the Cadillac limo has heavy armor five inches thick, run-flat tires, bullet-proof glass, an interior that seals, in case of a chemical attack, and other stuff that is too top secret to apparently reveal.</p>
<p>BoomTown is thinking, um, <em>working</em> Wi-Fi?</p>
<p>Refrigerated cup holders (and more of them, please!)?</p>
<p>A food machine that makes pizza from thin air like on &#8220;Star Trek&#8221;?</p>
<p>Or, miracle of miracles, that giant Apple (AAPL) iPod embedded in the steering wheel?</p>
<p>Post your suggestions as to what gadgets should be in the President&#8217;s new ride below.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/files/2008/05/lmao.jpg' alt='lmao.jpg' />Google&#8217;s (GOOG) Open Handset Alliance is going to have to do a lot better than a few early prototype demos if it truly hopes to unify mobile Linux around <a href="http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/20071105/no-gphone/">its Android specification</a>. Because rival <a href="http://www.limofoundation.org/">LiMo Foundation</a> is stepping up its game. And fast.</p>
<p>Earlier this year, LiMo uncrated a first wave of  handsets running on its Linux-based software platform for mobile devices&#8211;<a href="http://www.unstrung.com/document.asp?doc_id=145507">18 devices from seven vendors.</a> And now the foundation is <a href="http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/djf500/200805141051DOWJONESDJONLINE000620_FORTUNE5.htm">adding some big names to its roster of mobile-phone outfits</a>. This morning, LiMo <a href="http://www.limofoundation.org/press-releases/limo-press-releases/limo-foundation-expands-in-breadth-and-depth-with-further-swell-of-new-members.html">announced</a> eight new members, among them: <a href="http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hu37w4sIDJFFsXmY8h3SRYnqgnqwD90LFQA04">Mozilla, developer of the Firefox Web browser and Verizon Wireless (VZ)</a>.</p>
<p>The companies&#8217; membership is an important endorsement for LiMo&#8211;Verizon&#8217;s in particular. The mobile-phone player seems quite invested in LiMo and its vision of mobile Linux, which is far more Democratic than the OHA, which is one of those wonderful we&#8217;re-Google-and-Google-always-knows-best democracies. So much so that Verizon has declared LiMo&#8217;s to be its preferred mobile OS.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are wholeheartedly endorsing LiMo&#8217;s approach, and we are investing company resources, but we see the opportunity to have both the OHA and LiMo succeed and/or work together,&#8221; Kyle Malady, vice president of networks at Verizon Wireless, said during a conference call with reporters this morning. &#8220;LiMo is our platform of choice, but if there comes a point where we see there is benefit for our customers we will use OHA as well.&#8221;</p>
